Cosmic Joe Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 My handwriting was pretty poor so about 25 years ago resorted to writing in block capitals. With that, and recording almost everything digitally, I have now lost the ability to handwrite. (I had to Google cursive) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) That satellite image above reminds me about a ridiculously large dry stane dyke that I stumbled upon recently. Easily >10ft high and the width of a house. Edited March 24, 2022 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 "With a pile so big in the back garden, it could be seen on Google earth" I don't think that's as wild as they are making out. It's not like you can see it from space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He clearly hadn't thought it through.) Maybe this guy does it the other way round. That Perthshire Kia guy going to extreme lengths to get cyclists off the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 On writing, I was in the lab today. The person I was with put down a notebook and pen for noting which samples were which. Without even thinking I wrote in block capitals. My handwriting has always been abysmal. Even as a kid my mum would buy books to help me, but none worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 A lot of stuff where i work is digital. But in the main, we still use pen and paper for stuff. Pharmacy deliveries etc. Half the nurses tend to sign it like they are fucking Zoro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) When a massive solar flare fries all our electronics we'll be reduced to scratching runes on slate and trading onions for potatoes. Do students still have to use handwriting for exams? I found that a struggle back in the olden days, must be much worse now.
